Samba installation error

[Prince Tokunbo]

hello,

WHAT I WANT TO DO:
I have 2Pcs, one running on Windows, and the other on RedHat Linux 9. I
want to be able to copy files(documents) from my Windows PC to the Linux
and viceversa.

A friend informed me about the SAMBA software - that
it(samba-3.0.9-1_rh9.i386.rpm) can accomplish the task I mentioned above,
and Ive downloaded it on my Linux PC.

I followed instructions "How to Install and Test SAMBA" on
http://www.bibsyst.no/samba/docs/man/Samba-HOWTO-Collection/install.html

issuing the command rpm -i samba-3.0.9-1_rh9.i386.rpm, I get the following
errors:

[root at localhost john]# rpm -i samba-3.0.9-1_rh9.i386.rpm

[root at localhost john]#


so I thought that maybe the RedHat9 installation I got comes with a
version of SAMBA? am I right?

If so, how do i "activate/configure" it, coz it doesnt no icon of SAMBA
shows up in my startup menu.

Thanks
Toks
